“When you pray, say: `Father…give us each day our daily bread.’” —Lk 11:2-3

How folks interpret this part of the Lord’s prayer are many and varied, but to me it is more of a reassurance that as long as I keep working hard in my life, in all aspects of life then I don’t need to worry about where my next meal is coming from. There have been many days when I have worried about my family’s finances (OK most days) but if I remember these words, I feel more assured.

Should I assume that I don’t need to do anything to get my Daily Bread? I don’t make that assumption, because Heaven helps those who help themselves (another phrase to live by for a Sunday).
